Some behavior changes in Expose and scrubbing QuickTime movies have been noticed but were apparently introduced in earlier builds. Finally, there are reports that stability has significantly improved over the previous build.
Snow Leopard will be released in September and will be $29 for existing Mac OS X Leopard owners.

Kinda liked the purple Quicktime icon, fitted well with the default Leopard wallpaper.

OpenGL still runs at less than half the speed than with 10.5! Run an OpenGL test In xbench under 10.5 and then under SL. On my MacBook I get a OpenGL score of 61 Under SL and about 150 under 10.5. No update yet has fixed it. Verfied it on 2 other macs. Anyone else notice this?

I like both purple and blue quicktime icons. I wonder if the purple one is meant for the server edition?
